Sgt. Edward George Ryde
British Army 2nd Btn. Middlesex Regiment

(d.10th Mar 1915)
At Neuve Chapelle on the 10th March 1915, D company, 15 Platoon 2nd Middlesex, under the command of Sergeant Edward George Ryde was the first over the top. (The only platoon commanded by a sergeant.) He died in the charge having reached the barbed wire. His body was found with his trenching tool trying to dig a hole. I have the letter from Quarter Master Sgt. Colleopy describing the moment.
